A high profile veterinarian has slammed the International Equestrian Federation for the rhetoric used to justify its progressive list of drugs, saying its position on anti-inflammatory agents is "patently ridiculous".

And I'm still amazed at what a small world it is ... Lesley, Nancy, Doug and I spent many a lunch hour after our lessons bemoaning each others' lot over endless soup and salad at Olive Garden. Good memories ... so long ago ...

Gary Stuart suggested you might be guy to ask and looking at great website I see why. I am very slowly working on thriller set against world of eventing. Im involved in sport in UK but book has a major character who is French Canadian. Need to get him right. Some years since I lived in Canada or wrote for Corinthian so very out of touch with things especially in Quebec. Talked very briefly to Stuart Black couple of years ago. (Novel is set in 2005).
Welcome aboard! Hope to hear from you soon about the date for Christilot's Dressage and Dessert. Did you get my phone message last week? Be well ... Dorothy :-)
